COVER PICTURE

The attractive young ladv pictured
on the cover this month is Miss
Betty Bond, of Chew Chase, Md.,
who was named "Miss Maryland"
in the 1942 Terrapin, student annual.

Miss Bond is a sophomore, and a
member of the College of Arts and
Sciences and Kappa Kappa Gamma
Sorority.

She was chosen for the honor of
being "Miss Maryland" by John
Robert Powers, head of the famous
Powers Model Agencv of New
York and one of the best known con-
noisseurs of feminine pulchritude in
the world.

Other coeds who formed Miss
Bond's court were Edith Dunford
of Riverdale; Helen Crane of Hyatts-
ville; Mary Yeager of Hagerstown;
Doris Thompson of Catonsville, and
Louise Teller of Chew Chase.

DEAR FRIENDS:

I appreciate the opportunitv to
serve the University of Maryland
and its Alumni in my new job as
President of the Association. It
seems to me that a rare opportunity'
is presented for all of us to get down
to work and help the Universitv in
the most important program ever
undertaken by an educational insti-
tution.

What's the program? Simply
stated it is the mammoth task of
welding literally hundreds of young
men into the fullest war effort. This
involves a tremendous physical edu-
cation program under our new di-
rector, Clark Shaughncssv. Our boys

Alumni 2>ay Proved Enjoyable Aj^ai/i

FORTRAIT OF LATE DEAN THOMAS H. SPENCE
PRESENTED TO THE UNIVERSITY —
WATKINS NAMED PRESIDENT

In spite of curtailment by war-time activities and the

main difficulties of transportation. Alumni who at
tended the get-together at the University on Max 30,
voted it a thoroughly enjoyable affair and one not soon
to be forgotten. Especial credit goes to the Class of *1~.
which had the largest representation of any one class
for the da) .

Program Curtailed

With mam Alumni in the armed service and others
taking an active part in war activities it had been de-
cided by leaders in the Association and at the University
to curtail the Alumni Day program this year and hold
it on the same day as graduation, giving the Alumni an
opportunity to see this colorful event and to meet and
know more of the graduates, their parents and members
of the faculty.

The program for the Alumni began with registration
in the new Administration Building, which was followed
at 9:30 by the annual meeting. This was presided over
by First Vice-President Robert M. (Bunt) Watkins,
'23, as President Parker was unable to attend because
of illness.

Following a few introductory remarks by Mr. Wat-
kins in which he paid tribute to "the fine work of Rosev
Pollock, Secretary of the Association, who has joined
the armed forces and is now somewhere on the high
seas on his way to a foreign battlefield." "Bunt" also
praised the work of President Parker, who he announced
is making definite recovery from a long illness.

A report on the finances of the Alumni Association
was made by Mr. Harvey Casbarian, Comptroller of the
University of Maryland.

Dean Spence Honored

At this point Mr. Watkins announced that a tribute
was about to be paid a deceased member of the facultv
who had been a member of the facultv' at College Park
for nearly 50 years and who had justly earned a place of
love and respect in the hearts of all Alumni, the late
Thomas Humphrey Spence. Professor Charles S. Rich-
ardson, retired head of the Public Speaking Department,
presented an oil portrait of Dean Spence to the Univer-

sity in behall <>l Janus \\ St( ns and James Sw.nt/.
members ol the Class ol I'M 1 ).

Presenl at the unveiling ol t lie portrait wen Mi
Spence. three daughters Miss Marj S]
Park, Mis. 1 . ( Iraig Wilton oi Roanok< , Va., and Mi
W. ]. Lescure oi Harrisonburg, Va.; foui grandchildren
—Craig Wilton. Jr., Charlotte Calverl Spence Wilton.
Thomas I lumphre) Spence W ilton, and W.J, I i
3rd; and one son in law, E. Craig W ilton.

[Tie portrait was unveiled by little Charlotte Calverl
Spence Wilton and was accepted b\ Dr. II. C. Byrd,
'08, President of the University ol Maryland, and one
tunc student ol Dean Spence.

Dean Spence was bom in 1867 at the Spence ancestral
home near Snow Hill, Worcestei County, and became
a Professor of Language at the old Maryland Agricul-
tural College m 1892. In 1902 he was made \ ice Presi
dent and from 1912 to 1913 he served as Acting Presi
dent. From 1919 to 1921 he was Acting Dean of the
College of Arts and Sciences and in 1924 was made Dean
Emeritus of the College of Arts and Sciences. I Ic taught
a class in Greek at the University until his death in 193".

Dr. Byrd Accepts Picture

In accepting the portrait Dr. Byrd lauded Dean
Spencc's lovaltv to the University and to the line and
inspiring influence he had upon the men and women
who came to his classes. "In his classroom we met his
classes but also we got something more," he said. ' \\ c
learned a way of life and main- of his pupils went forth
to run the fortunes of this State. 'Phis quality which he
carried over to us in the classroom has dominated our
lives. Never in all the years that I knew him did he ever
refuse to help or serve others. In behalf of the University
I want to sav to Jimmic Stevens and Jimmie Swart/, and
to Mrs. Spence that the spirit of Dean Spence will live
with us forever."

The group of Alumni was also given the opportunity
to meet and hear a word from Mr. Clark Shaughnessy,
head football coach and director of physical education
at the University. Mr. Shaughnessy told the Alumni that
while the athletic program at the University is being
shaped to produce winning teams it is also being
planned to give everyone a chance to get into athletics.
"In this dav of national emergency we need men and wo
men who arc strong, healthy and rugged: and it is going
to be my objective to develop these qualities in the youth
of this University. The building of character and a good
physique will be of first importance."

DEAR FRIENDS:

(Continued from page 2)
must be fit. tough, and alert to meet the sort of competition that
this crazy era of war and destruction has in store for them It
further involves the task of inculcating within the minds and
hearts of our boys and girls the spirit to achieve in the face of
this competition. 'The job that they do will spell success or doom
for our democratic way of life.

You ask the question, "What can I do?" The answer is a
simple one. Keep your boy and girl in school, help others to
come to Maryland, and give generously when you aie called upon.

We are going to have an important organization meeting of
the Alumni Directors and Officers m a very few days to shape
the policy of our Association. President Byrd has promised to meet
with us and acquaint us with some of the things we should do.

By the way, between now and next month, let's have the items
that you consder "newsy" and of the sort that will help make a
bigger and better Alumni News. That's all for now.

Sincerely,

R. M. "Bunt" Watkins, '23,

President.

ALUMNI DAY PROVES ENJOYABLE
AFFAIR

(Continued from page 3)

Chairman T. B. Symons, '01, of the Nominating Committee,
presented the following members for the election of new officers:
Robert M. Watkins of College Park, for President; Austin C.
Diggs of Baltimore, for First Vice-President, and Talbot T.
Specr of Baltimore, for Second Vice-President. All were elected
and Miss Lucile Laws. '37, of Silver Spring, was named temporary
Secretary.

At the close of the meeting Dr. Byrd announced that he was
calling a meeting of officers and other Alumni to discuss plans
for the future development of the Alumni Association.

Following the meeting the group attended graduation exercises
in Ritchie Coliseum and in the afternoon a football game was
staged between four picked squads to demonstrate Mr. Shaugh-
nessy's new "T" formation for the benefit of the Alumni. A de-
tailed description of the game is given by Bill Hottel in the sports
section of the Alumni News.

Old Line Athletic Contributions

By W. H. ("Bill") HOTTEL:

Burlin Gets Top Prize As 66 Athletes Are Honored;
Many Stars Lost And Others Will Go In February

Sixh -six Old Line athletes in lacrosse,
baseball, track, tennis and rifle shooting
were awarded letters and prizes at an as-
sembly on the campus on May 29. There
were some outstanding men in the array
who will not compete again as collegians.

Ralph M. Burlin of Port Deposit. Md..
received the highest award an Old Liner
can gain when he won the Sylvester Watch,
annually bestowed on the man typifying
the best in college athletics. In addition to
distinguishing himself in the sports arena,
Burlin also was an outstanding student in
the College of Engineering.

DuVall And Wharton Honored
Mearle DuVall and Pop Wharton, the
only three-letter men graduating, were
honored with the Linhardt Ring and Bozie
Berger Trophy, respectively. DuVall was
recognized as the outstanding athlete from
within the State, while Wharton was con-
sidered to have contributed the most to
baseball. Bill McGregor got the Powell
award for the player who did the most
for lacrosse during the year.

Burlin, a plugger and natural athlete,
was one of the bulwarks in the Maryland
line the last three seasons and also a crack-
erjack defense man in lacrosse. His selec-
tion as the outstanding man on the sports
scene was highly popular with fellow stu-
dents.

It was a notable group that received
awards from Clark Shaughnessy, who told
his listeners they would have great respon-
sibility in the years immediately ahead, as
athletes always have been recognized as
leaders. Of the group more than 50 were
from within the State.

Two Graduations Hurt

Not so many of these athletes were in
the graduating class but many will go next
February in view of the extra semester that
lias been added to start June 22.

Hill, McGregor, Burlin, Thumm and

* Seniors who received gold awards.

Ulman were the only seniors on the lacrosse
squad but Grelecki, VandenBerg and Fet-
ters, three of the team's aces, will go out
with the February class.

DuVall, Wharton, Smith, Tierney and
Hunt were the only seniors in baseball but
some others doubtless will go in February.

Track lost only Cronin, Condon and
Kihn and will not be hit by the February
graduation.

Tennis lost its top players, Baugher and
Royal, and may be further hurt by Feb-
ruary losses.

Maryland's rifle team, that won the na-
tional R. O. T. C. crown and had Ulrich
Geller on the all-America ten, also lost
men in May and likely will be hit in
February.

•

GRIDDER LEADS R. O. T. C.

Luther (Boots) Conrad, all-State foot-
ball end and shot-putter and discus thrower,
has been named colonel of the R. O. T. C.

regiment for the next two semesters.

Spring Athletic Teams
Have Rough Season

Man land Spring sports teams in la-
crosse, baseball, track and tennis, col-
lectively had their worst record in many
years, winning only 1" contests, losing 22
and tying two.

Lacrosse set the pace with seven wins in
ten games, the tennis team took four
matches, lost two and deadlocked one, the
baseball nine was able to grab only five
victories in 18 tilts, and the tracksters cap-
tured a lone meet, losing four and tying
another.

All the freshman teams, except the rack-
eters, did well enough, with the nine being
the only combination at College Park to
have a clean slate for the year. It won all
its four games in a schedule curtailed by
rain and cancellations.

The young Old Liners annexed four of
five lacrosse games, broke even in four
track meets but the netmen were drubbed
in all five matches.

The frosh figured in a total of 18 con-
tests, winning 10 against 8 defeats, the
record of the young netmen being a heavy
blow to the average.
•

TRACKMEN ARE GRIDMEN

Four of Maryland's football end candi-
dates are hurdlers or high jumpers or both
on the track team. They are Bob James,
Tom Brandt, Tom Hagerman and Jack
Gilmore. James runs the hurdles only, Gil-
more sticks to high jumping, but Brandt
and Hagerman are oncoming sophs who
do both.

•

STICKMEN SET RECORD

Maryland's lacrosse team, missing the
national collegiate title or runner-up spot
for the first time in years, set a season's
scoring record of 108 goals. On the other
hand, the defense was not up to par as 44
markers were vielded.

Shaughnessy Impresses;
Grid Uplift Expected

Chirk Shaughnessy, former Stanford
mentor and modernizer of the "1", is
expected to bring about a considerable up

lift in the grid game al College l';irk next
call, but those in the know are expecting
no such "miracles" as he performed with
the Indians.

Shaughnessy has not let out as much
as a whimper about his material but ever)
one knows it is far from being ot Stanford
caliber. In fact, lie's enthusiastic over the
wav the boys responded in the Spnng dulls.

Shaughnessy has made it verj evident to
all those who have watched him in his
work, that he not only is a topnotch coach
but is an organizer and leader who will
get 100 percent from his men. Of course,
he's not up against anything like as tough
a schedule as he faced on the Pacific Coast
and it appears a cinch that he will win a
great majority of his nine college games.

Insists On Alert Players

Physical fitness, speed, alertness, and
quick thinking are Shaughnessy 's by-words,
on and off the gridiron, and he'll need
these qualities in his football squad next
Fall as the Old Liners will be none too
strong on poundage. Out of the 2" men
who'll have to earn- the big burden, he has
just 10 who scale over 190, but there does
appear to be better than average speed in
the array.

Shaughnessy had the squad on the field
just 23 days in Spring practice but coaches
who saw them in the latter stages of the
workouts, including Frank Leahy of Notre
Dame, who is adopting the " T," marveled
at the progress the Old Liners had made in
that short time.

Impress In Double Header

For the benefit of the Alumni and others
who were on hand for Commencement on
May 30, Shaughnessy staged an intrasquad
double-header to wind up the Spring ses-
sion. Seven teams played, the 4-4 leading
players divided, opposed in one game, and
the others, labeled Commandos by Shaugh-
nessy, took part in another battle. Play in
both tilts was impressive, despite an ex-
ceptionally hot day. What impressed more
than anything else was the spirit and cn-

Cl.ARK SH.U'OI/M SS\

thusiasm displayed by every player on the

field. They must keep stepping to stay in
Shaughnessy's good graces, lie's no coach
for sluggards.

Maryland's dependables next Fall will
be made up of a mixture of what usually
is to a coach's liking, including seven sen
iors, eleven juniors, and nine sophs. This
melds experience, fire and ambition that
normally brings success. Paul Flick, a 203
pound, 6-foot 3-inch center, is the only
soph who has been running on the tenta-
tive first eleven, all the others being letter
men. There arc 14 letter winners in all
among the 27, with half of the reserve
group of 16 being rookies.

Will Have Sizable Squad

There will be just about twice 27 on
the varsity squad next Fall, though, as
Shaughnessy touched off a new spark in
football at College Park. Doubtless some
helping talent will come out of this en-
thusiastic array not only for next season
but for 1943. Ever) man who reports next
Fall will be carried on some team.

Shaughnessy has much more to think
about at Maryland than football. A di
rector of physical education, he is respon-
sible for an encompassing fitness program
and he also is athletic director.

COVER PICTURE

For beauty of composition and all 'round
good photography we think the cover pic-
ture used on this issue of the News is
about tops. YVe regret that cost prevents
us from showing it to you in its original
Kodachrome colors. The picture was taken
by David Johnson, '41, who was editor of
the All- American Terrapin of that vear.
Dave is now serving in Uncle Sam's Navy.

The picture shows the beautiful West
front of the new Administration Building
which houses publication, financial and
administrative offices of the University.
The new University Armory is being erect-
ed at the present time directly back of the
Administration Building.

ELIZABETH E. HAVILAND, '36, TELLS OF
JOURNEY BACK TO THE UNITED STATES

Herewith we publish an article by Elizabeth K. Haviland, '36,
who is now located at Wilmington College, Wilmington, Ohio,
where she is a member of the biology department. Prior to joining
tlic faculty of Wilmington College in 1941, Miss llavil.ni. I had
been principal of the Girls' School. Friends African Mission,
Kisiimn-Kcnva Colony, East Africa. Her experiences in making
the return trip from Easl Africa were so interesting that w<
asked her to prepare this article for the readers of the News.

After four and one-half years' sojourn in foreign lands 1 turned
my steps homeward in 1941. I did so with some misgivings be-
cause arrangements to travel by boat could not be made by mail
and \vc had to go four hundred miles to make them and wait for
the boat.

The overland trip by British compartment railroad tram was
interesting. At that time soldiers were busy in Kenya Colony.
East Africa, preparing for the attack on Ethiopia. Soldiers and all
their equipment clogged the capital. From the compartment win
dow mountains, steep wooded valleys, and wide grassy plains passed
in rapid succession.

Many Wild Animals

Sometimes dozens of ostrich, zebra, wildebeest, Thompson's
gazelle and other kinds of deer could be seen from the window
and twice several giraffe were seen fairly near the train. None of
these animals were much disturbed by the train. A few would
start to run, but many never lifted their heads. Once two ani-
mals were seen fighting, but the noisy train caused no pause in
their quarrel.

At Mombasa, the port for Kenya Colony, we finally got booking
on a Dutch East Indian boat which was to sail "early in January."
It gives one an uncertain feeling to have paid your money but
not know the name of the boat or exact date of sailing. As in-
structed, every second day we asked at the booking office if they
knew yet. After almost three weeks of this, we were told the boat
was in and we were to board her before noon the next day.
Much Red Tape

After more than the usual amount of red tape we got aboard.
There we sat until 5 o'clock slowly melting in the heat. \Yc
understood that the boat was sailing straight for Singapore but
again the expediency of war made her go a night's journey south
and stay there a day before starting east.

The trip was nerve wearing because of rumors and no facts.
We could not find out the boat's speed nor when we would land
and the heat and blackout added to our discomfort. It was, indeed,
with a sigh of relief that we reached Singapore.

However, more red tape followed here and the only saving thing
was the courtesy of the officials. We spent most of two days going
from one office to another, waiting for this signature or that
paper. Finally we got our money, which had been confiscated, and
had it changed into local currency. We could not get "gold dol-
lars" (U. S. money) for it was too valuable.

Singapore is a tropical port, hot and humid. For this reason,
and others, we did not regret that our stay was short. The harbor
was fortified, mined, camouflaged, and partly closed by great chains
which left only enough room for one boat to pass at a time.

I In next boat, anothei I )nt< li I is) Indies :, was mu I

.mil bettei ilr in the lust It wa . good thin i th< ( bin
lived up to its had reputation and even Jad to

sit aboul quietly. It took five days to K rid the

change in climate w is veiv noti illj as il rained

of the four d.i\s we win tin re

Arrive Ar Hong Kong

Hong Kong is called a free porl and while there was not so
muth red tape, still we spent hours waiting foi thi
enters to decide whethei we could s.nl in foui days oi nol \Mu
tins decision was made we had more waiting — hours oi it — to

get our tickets filled out.

In between this business and the rains we walked aboul
sheets, looking at the dress woik and wares ol tin peoplt It was
fascinating to sec the mixture of old and new. women mending
silk hose with all the tare Chinese people use m making million!
erv. men making sandals of old automobile tucs. and (.living

and enlaying ash trays in ancient patterns, and the traditional
Chinese dress worn with Western shoes

On a raw. rainy morning we went on the big Japanese steamer
that was to carry us to our own United States. The w.itci was .i
hit rough in the harbor and we held our breath as hcavv baggage
was balanced precariously on a man's back while he transferred
it from lighter to ship. I saw no mishap, but there were plenty
of tales of salt water baths given luggage at various times.

At List we were on a boat th.it posted its daily progress and said
when it was going to get to a place. Our first stop was Shanghai,
but we were not very eager to go ashore. The conflict there made
moving about rather dangerous and it was cloudy and cold. The
icicles were the first I had seen in three \c.irs. We were sure the
thermometer, which registered just below freezing, was wrong
as it felt to us that below zero would be nearer right. Because of
the time of year the temperature changes were much more no-
ticeable than they would have been in June. The seas were pretty
stormy, too. However, our boat was a large one and we were com-
paratively comfortable. We felt the coolness of the Japanese
officers and stewards but there was no lack of service.
Japan Disappoints

From Shanghai we traveled eastvvardly and the weather mod-
erated. Reason told us that the stories of beautiful Japan could
not all be true in winter but it was disappointing to sec the gray
skies, dull fields and dripping houses. The rain was almost con-
tinuous while we were in ports of Japan. We never did see Mount
Fiji. This and the curtness of the landing officials kept us from
exploring much. The uninviting, shopworn displays in shop win-
dows, the time we did go for a walk, did not lead us on very far
and helped us believe the stories of poverty we heard later. Japan
is using every resource to win licr war with China and be prepared
for anything else, yet she wants to appear at ease economically.

From Japan we sailed for Honolulu. For a week we saw no land
but our hearts rejoiced because it was warmer, the sun was shining,
and we were nearing our native land. Customs declaration p.ipcis
arc long and often hard to fill out, yet thrilling in a way. This tunc
we filled them out and handed them in before getting to Honolulu.

The big event of this week was "date day." Every day we trav-
eled east the clock was set forward thirty minutes. This is done in
the night and makes breakfast time come more quickly than is
always desirable. "Date day" for us was February 25. The second
clay of this date was marked Feb. 25, 1941 I 2nd i on our menus.

Number of Alumni Located
At Tropical Fruit Station

Dr. and Mrs. John M. Bellows, Jr., both

gradual < of the University, arc now living

Alumna Has Exciting Trip

(Continued from page 3)

This boat did not have any special cere-
mony as some do. We actually crossed the
line in the night.

Honolulu Is Beautiful

Honolulu is an interesting port with its
beautiful tropical colors, variety in style
of buildings, wide range of goods in the
shops and types of people. The freedom
to do as we wished and the hospitality of
the people filled our hearts with joy. We
were in our own land and although we
had several days of travel to reach "The
Coast'' ( West Coast of U. S. A. to Hawaii-
ans) we basked in the first complete free-
dom of many weeks. At the end of the day
we went back to our ship, tired in body but
refreshed in spirit. We watched people
throw their wreaths in the water, hoping
they would float back to the island and thus
show that the thrower would return. We
echoed the wish to return to this sunny
land.

Everyone was packing the next day as we
were promised a very bad storm before
reaching San Francisco. We had visions
of holding to our bed-rails. However, the
storm passed before us and we did not
even have a rough sea. It was hard to real-
ize we were really very far from land. Early
one foggy morning we got up to see our
ship sliding slowly under the Golden Gate
Bridge. Landing was yet before us but we
were in native waters and only those who
have been in foreign lands in troubled
times can fully realize our relief and joy.

William P. Cole, 3rd, '40, is now a sec-
ond lieutenant and has been stationed at
Camp Polk, La. He is following in his
father's footsteps, Congressman William
P. Cole, who served as a captain in the

his position as executive secretary of the
Washington Board of Trade to report for
active duty as a Captain in the Corps of
Engineers, United States Army. Bill, it will
be remembered by his classmates, was the
able treasurer of his class for two years, and
has made an enviable reputation in his po-
sition with the Board of Trade.

L. P. McLachlen, President of the Board,
declared that Press' resignation was a
major loss to the organization. In accepting
the resignation he stated: "Your services
and contributions to the Board of Trade
and your able leadership and direction of
its activities, have been of permanent
value, not only to the organization but to
the entire community. I speak the senti-
ment of our officers, our directors and our
entire membership in stressing the deep
and sincere regret with which we accept
your resignation."

Old Line Athletic Contributions

Nin Should Be Fair

N iryland's lacrosse squad is exception-
al) > well set and the Old Line nine is fairly
well fixed for the games they will play as
headlincrs of the Summer program of
physical fitness at College Park.

In fact, the stickmen. who will play four
games, appear somewhat better off than
for the regular 1942 campaign, while the
diamonders, who have eight tilts listed, will
lack much of their Spring strength.

Only Bill McGregor, Bob Stockbridge,
Landis Hill and Ashton Thumm of the
Spring lacrosse squad will be missing and
only the first two named were regulars.
McGregor was graduated and Stockbridge
will not return until Fall.

Jim Forbes and Barnet Broughton, goalies;
Ralph Burlin, Jack Dittmar, Bob Fetters
and Howard Keller, defense players; Bill
Tarbert, John Hoyert, Bill Taylor and
Bernie Ulman, midfielders, and Ray Gre-
lecki, Milt VandenBerg and Carroll Rowny,
close attack. Howard Smedley, John Rup-
persberger and Lloyd Mallonee, defense;
Otts Lundvall, midfielder, and Bob Smith,
close attack, are impressive recruits.

However, the sad part of the situation is
that Forbes, Burlin, Fetters, Keller, Gre-
lecki and VandenBerg, who ordinarily
would be on hand for the 1943 season, are
slated to go out with the advanced gradu-
ation class next February.

Baseball Losses Heavy

Baseball lost Bob Smith, pitcher; Louis
Tierney, catcher; Mearle DuVall, first base;
Jim Wharton, second, and Roscoe Whipp,
third, and Ernie Travis, outfielder, is not
in school this semester.

Lefty Crist, Floyd Roberts and Max
Hunt, pitchers; Kenny Bransdorf, catcher;
Clark Hudak, Bill Ellett and Henry Sunier,
infielders, and Danny Boothe and Hal
Evans, outfielders, are the lettermen left-
overs. Also on hand as leading perform-
ers are Jack Brenner, catcher, and Jack
Wright, pitcher, who were kept out of
baseball by Spring grid drills; Jim Kinsman,
inficlder, and Sam Burch, catcher, 1942 re-
serves, and some promising rookies are
Charley Cawunder, first base; Bill Slater,

Still Two Spots Open
On 1942 Grid Card

Maryland's 1942 football schedule, in
which several changes have been made,
principally as to location of games, still is
not completely settled.

There now are two dates open, October
3, cancelled by Hampden-Sydney, and No-
vember 21, which was made available
when the Washington and Lee clash was
shifted from Thanksgiving Day to the
28th.

It is certain that October 3 will be
filled, as there are several applicants for
the date, but nothing has developed as to
November 2 1 .

is the list as it appeared when the
News went to press:

—Connecticut at College Park.

-Rutgers at Baltimore Stadium.

-V. M. I. at Lexington.

-Western Maryland at Baltimore Stad.

-Florida at Griffith Stadium in Wash-

Athletes Are Leaders
In Military Unit

Maryland athletes hold the majority of
the top positions in the R. O. T. C. Unit.

Boots Conrad, all-State football player
and track letterman, is the colonel, while
Ray Grelecki, lacrosse ace; Bernie Ulman,
football and lacrosse star, and Reggy Vin-
cent, grid tackle, are lieutenant-colonels.

Grelecki also is president of the Student
Government Association.

A host of other athletes hold the rank
of captain and lieutenant.

Old Liners Overlooked
On Star Stick Team

For the first time in years Maryland
didn't place a lacrosse player on the all-
America team this season. Ray Grelecki,
attack man, and Bill McGregor, second de-
fense, were named for the second team and
Jim Forbes, goalie, was on the third ten.

It was a surprise and shock to the Old
Liners that Grelecki was not chosen for the
first team. He was outstanding all season
and set a new Maryland scoring record by
piling up 30 goals.

This was four above the previous record
total of 26, made by John Christhilf in
1936 and tied by Rip Hewitt in 1939. -

It also was thought that Bob Fetters,
close defense man, would get some national
consideration.

Grelecki, Fetters and Forbes were picked
for the all-State first ten.

WARNER GOES TO NAVY

Glenn Warner, physical education di-
rector, has resigned to join the Naval Acad-
emy staff. Besides doing great work in
intramurals, he put the Old Liners on the
map with a soccer team that lost only one
game in two years and was unbeaten last
season.

C. Walter Cole Announces
Candidacy For U. S. House

A prominent Maryland alumnus, C.
Walter Cole, '21, of Towson, has an-
nounced his candidacy for nomination to
the U. S. House of Representatives from
Maryland's Second Congressional District,
and will run in the Democratic primaries
next month.

Representative William P. Cole, '10,
the present incumbent, and a brother of
the new Congressional aspirant, has received
a Federal judgeship appointment and thus
will not be a candidate for re-election. He
has represented the Second District con-
tinuously since 1931, and also served a
term from 1927 to 1929.

The new Cole candidate for Congress is
a native of Baltimore County and has been
associated with his brother since 192". He
was graduated from the Harvard Law
School in 1924 and since then has been
engaged in the active practice of law. A
past president of the Baltimore County
Bar Association, he is also a member of the
Maryland State and American Bar Asso-
ciations.

A past president of the University of
Maryland Alumni Association, he was ap-
pointed in 1939 by Governor Herbert R.
O'Conor as a member of the National Con-
ference of Commissioners on Uniform
State Laws, which is a national legisla-

Students Plan

Alumni Cordially Invited
To Attend Gala Affair

Alumni arc cordially invited to attend a

gala week cud " \utumn Carnival" Sep-
tember 2 5, 26, and 2", which is being
planned by undergraduates at the Uni-
versity as a conclusion to the first summer
semester program ever held at the Uni-
\cisity of Maryland.

\ highlight of the three day celebration
will be the debut of the first Maryland
team coached by Clark Shaughnessey. The
Terps will inaugurate their l l M2 season
September 26 against the University of
Connecticut, an outstanding team which
is making its first appearance on a Uni-
versity of Maryland pigskin schedule. Pros-
pects are running high that this engage-
ment will start the Old Liners off on the
most successful season in recent years.
"T" Formation Described

Students, faculty and alumni will get a
preliminary demonstration of the famed
"T" formation on Friday night in Byrd
Stadium at an exhibition which will be
described personally by Mr. Shaughnessy.
The "T" formation demonstration will be
preceded by a sham battle, staged by mem-
bers of the ROTC with the aid of a de-
tachment of soldiers from Fort Meade.

Before the program in Byrd Stadium gets
under way, a huge and colorful torch-
light parade, headed by the University
band, will be started up College Avenue,
across the boulevard, and through the
campus. The procession will halt on the
knoll in front of the library and a pep
rally will be led by student cheer leaders,
with awards being made for the best float
entries in the parade. Following the foot-
ball exhibition in the stadium, fraternity
and sorority houses will join in sponsoring
a gigantic chain of rotary dances, conclud-
ing Friday's program.

Victory Ball

Saturday night a Harvest Victory Ball
will be held in the Gym-Armory. The dance
is to be informal and will carry out the
spirit of the harvest season.

Taking cognizance of the importance of
spiritual morale during war time, Sunday's
program will be of a more serious nature.
An outdoor sunrise service has been sched-
uled for 8 a. m. in Byrd Stadium. The

Dr. Pyle Appointed Dean
Of Collese Of Commerce

Dr. J. Freeman Pyle, Dean of the Col-
or Business Administration at Mar

quette University, lias been named Dean
of the College of Commerce of the Uni-
versity of Maryland, and will take over his
duties on September 1, it is announced by
President Byrd. Dr. Pyle succeeds Dean
\\ . Mackenzie Stevens, who tendered his
resignation last spring to become treasurer
of the Western Maryland Dairy.

The new dean is a native of Indiana and
is a graduate of the University of Chicago,
where he also took his doctorate. He has
been successively head of the Department
of Economics and Professor of Economics
and Marketing, and Dean of the College
of Business Administration at Marquette
since 1925. Prior to that he was Instructor
in Economics and Business Organization
in the School of Commerce and Adminis-
tration of the University of Chicago, and
Lecturer in Economics in the School of
Commerce of Northwestern University.
Well Known As Author

Dr. Pyle is the author of many books
and articles and his book on marketing
principles is now in use as a text in many
colleges and universities throughout the
country. He is preparing a book on market-
ing management to be published this year,
and has conducted a number of marketing
research projects in both public and private
organizations. In addition to the above,
his publications have varied from analysis
of various state income tax laws to the
determination of location standards of
layout for retail concerns, marketing ad-
ministration and what the consumer thinks
of advertising.

The present College of Commerce was
organized by Dr. Stevens when he joined
the staff of the University in 1937. Since
that time the faculty of the college has
more than doubled and the student body
has become one of the largest of any col-
lege in the University. In 1940 the high
standard of its scholastic work was officially-
recognized by an invitation to membership
in the American Association of Collegiate
Schools of Business, an association which
limits its membership to a few of the out-
standing business schools of the country.
Changes Planned

According to Dr. Byrd certain changes
will be made in the objectives of the col-
lege. The name of the college will prob-
ably be changed from College of Com-
merce to College of Business and Public
Administration. In addition, a good deal
of attention will be given to research in
the influence of government on business.
Emphasis will be placed on courses de-
signed to fit men and women for positions

men caught fish to supplement these ra-
tions and cooked in a S-gallon oil can that
had been cut down.

"It was May 10 that they finally sighted
land and the next day they saw natives
coming out in a small boat with spears.
"They followed us for about 10 miles or
two hours,' said Slimmons. 'Then through
glasses we saw one smile, so we hove to
and let them come up. But we had 45s
within reach.'

"They had a stroke of good luck once
on their voyage when they sighted a beau-
tiful waterfall ashore just as their water
was near exhaustion. 'We all took baths
amidst a profusion of wild orchids,' said
one of the officers. But their greatest luck
came on July 10 when they encountered
a vessel in a place that had not been visited

A graduate of Baltimore Polytechnic,
Dorsey matriculated at the University of
Maryland in 1929 and graduated three
years later with a B.S. in civil engineering.
Dean S. S. Steinberg of the College of
Engineering rated him as a "better than
average student" and aided him in securing
a job as senior draftsman with the Penn-
sylvania Department of Highways.

Later, Dorsey secured a position with
the E. I. Dupont Company in Wilming-
ton, Del., as assistant engineer with the
construction division.

A member of Sigma Phi Sigma social fra-
ternity, now Sigma Chi, Dorsey received
his commission last year and was sent to
the Far East in December. His father,
Leander Dorsey, and a sister, Miss Marie
Dorsey, are now in the Virgin Islands.

Before entering the Navy, Lieutenant
Dorsey, who is a native Baltimorean, lived
with relatives, Mr. and Mrs. Richard C.
Kemp, of the 1700 block Bolton St.

Male Students Enroll
Under New Military Plan

University of Maryland male students
began voluntary enrollment in the Army
this summer under the new general plan
known as the Enlisted Reserve Corps, sim-
ilar to the system now maintained by the
Navy.

At a general assembly of University men,
Colonel Robert E. Wysor, Jr., head of the
University's Military Department, pointed
out that the purpose of the student enlist-
ment by the Army is to insure for the
Army a future source of qualified officer

Engineering College Leads
In Enrollment Increase

The University's College of Engineering
led all other engineering schools in the
country last year with a 33 percent increase
in its freshman enrollment, it was reported
by Dean S. S. Steinberg recently in his
anual report before the Alumni Board of
the College of Engineering.

About 80 percent of the 1942 gradu-
ates went into military service immediately
and the remainder entered vital war in-
dustries, Dean Steinberg disclosed. Salaries
offered engineers are better than ever be-
fore, the dean declared, and each man in
the graduating class had several offers from
which to choose.

In April of this year the College of En-
gineering was able to secure establishment
on the campus of the War Department's
Civilian Protection School, formerly lo-
cated at Edgewood Arsenal. The College
Park school is one of seven located through-
out the country and maintained by the
Army to train selected civilian personnel.
Students for this school are drawn from
as far north as New York, as far west as
Illinois and as far south as South Carolina.

During the past year the engineering de-
fense training program under the auspices
of the U. S. Office of Education was con-
tinued and enlarged, the dean reported.
About 2,000 men and women completed
these courses and were awarded certificates.
A new training center to give courses in
Industrial Safety Engineering at Aberdeen
was recently added to the group of training
centers already established throughout the
state.

Old Line Athletic Contributions

= By W. H. ("Bill") HOTTEL:

Shipley Is In His 20th Year, Faber In His 16th
As Members Of Maryland's Coaching Staff

H. Burton Shipley, basket ball and base-
ball mentor, and Dr. John E. (Jack)
Faber, lacrosse coach, who handled Sum-
mer diamond and stick combinations, are
the veterans of the Mankind staff. Ship-
ley, in his 20th season, and Faber, in his
16th year, have done all right by the Old
Liners.

Both are old grads. Shipley in the class
of '14 and Faber in '26. Faber, however.
kept on to get his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees.
He is a bacteriologist but never has been
able to kill the athletic germ that infests
him.

Faber never has come close to having
a losing lacrosse campaign. In the past 15
years, his teams have captured 108 college
games, lost 16 and tied one, but have been
on the short end of battles with club out-
fits, principally the powerful Mt. Washing-
ton of Baltimore, taking only 6 of 16
contests.

Clean Slates Three Seasons

In the last seven years, when a national
collegiate champion has been named, the
Old Liners have taken three titles, shared
another and were runnersup once. In three
of these seasons Faber's squads have had
clean slates against college foes — in 1940,
1937 and 1936 — winning a total of 25
games.

That tie game, unusual in lacrosse, was
with Navy on a sizzling hot day in 1934;
the old rivals agreeing to call it off at 6-all
after two extra periods.

Faber has consistently battled the major
college teams in lacrosse on his schedules —
Army, Navy, Hopkins, Princeton and St.
John's, until the latter gave up sports —
and that he has averaged only one defeat a
season is a tribute to his coaching and that
of Al Hcagy, his aide.

Has Few Losing Seasons

Shipley, with opposition that collective-
ly is about an even proposition, has a good
winning margin in both sports. In the 19
seasons that are history, he has taken 206

basket ball games and lost 145, while on
the diamond he lias chalked up 184 vic-
tories against 1 52 setbacks and one tie. The
deadlock was a 5-5, 10-inning affair with
North Carolina State back in 1930.

Both of Shipley's teams have been on
the right side of the ledger in 13 of the
19 seasons and in another on the diamond
he broke even. His greatest basket ball
mark was in 1932 when an outfit, led by
All- America Bozie Berger, won 16 games
against 3 losses and captured the Southern
Conference crown. His baseball squad
gained the Conference title in 1936, a
season in which it took 14 of 20 games,
but has bettered this record in several other
campaigns.

Remain On Staff

Shipley and Faber remain as cogs in
Clark Shaughnessy's set-up, the former
staying in charge of the court and diamond
pastimes and the latter continuing with la-
crosse in addition to serving as assistant
athletic director.

Lacrosse Team Makes
Sweep Of Four Tilts

Maryland's summer lacrosse team, strict-
ly of national championship caliber, waltzed
through its four-game schedule, walloping
Penn State, 13-0; Hopkins twice, 8;1 and
8-0, and Navy, 9-2.

It was a finely balanced combination,
the vets of the Spring campaign being
bolstered by Sophs Howard Smedley, John
Ruppcrsberger and Lloyd Mallonee on
defense and Otts Lundvall and Snuffy
Smith on attack.

Forbes, goal; Fetters, Keller and Ditt-
mar, defense; Tarbcrt, Taylor, Ulman, Hoy-
crt and Mondt, midfield, and Grelecki,
VandenBcrg, Rowny and Mariner on at-
tack, were the vets in action.

VandenBcrg led the scoring with 1 1
goals and Grelecki chalked up 10.

Boothe Decides To Join
Grid Squad In Fall

Danny Boothe, Maryland's smooth ccn-
terfielder, intends to come out for the
football squad in the Fall and he should
make Clark Shaughnessy a great end.
Boothe. whose fielding, throwing and base
running is fully up to major league caliber,
also is hitting well.

He stands 6 feet 3 inches, weighs 180
pounds and is an antelope on his feet.

Boothe was a three-letter athlete at
Roosevelt High in Washington, being an
ace gridder and basketer also, but so far he
has found time to play only baseball at
Maryland. He is a junior in the College of
Engineering.

AIR STATION ELEVEN BOOKED

Lakehurst, N. J., Naval Air Station has
been scheduled for a football game for
October 3 at College Park, taking the place
of the contest that was cancelled by Hamp-
den-Sydney. It should be a much better
attraction than the Death Valley collegians,
whose gridiron outlook is none too bright
for 1942.

•

GOLDSTEIN IN SERVICE

Bobby Goldstein, former Virginia ace,
who coached the Maryland boxers to a
successful 1942 season, has gone into the
Army. He has been named a second lieu-
tenant and assigned to Maxwell Field, Ala.,
where it is expected he will do physical
fitness work. His squad won four matches,
lost two and tied one in the regular season
and then captured the Eastern Intercol-
legiate crown when invited as a fill-in team.
•
BALL TEAM IS TRAILING

Maryland, with rain halting two games,
played only three of the first five tilts of
its Summer Baseball League schedule.
George Washington was routed, 14-0, but
the Old Liners bowed to Georgetown, 0-11,
and Navy, 2-10. Play ends on August 22,
but it is hoped to play the postponed games.

material. The University of Maryland, Col-
onel Wysor disclosed, has been given a
quota of 1,000 vacancies in the new en-
listed reserve corps to be filled by Dec. 31.

Students who apply for admission in the
new reserve corps and pass the qualifying
exams will be permitted to continue their
college course on an inactive reserve status.
Those who fail to maintain a satisfactory
scholastic average or who are deemed by
the Army not to have the necessary quali-
fications to become an officer will be sub
ject to call by their draft boards.

Under the new compulsory ruling re-
cently adopted by the University's Board
of Regents, all physically fit men will be
given military training, beginning in Oc-
tober. However, this ruling docs not make
it compulsory for all men to register with
the reserve corps. University military an
thorities say that more than 2,000 stu-
dents will be in uniform this fall.

Chappell Commands Marine
Barracks In Puerto Rico

Kenneth Baldwin Chappell, '23, Com-
manding Officer of the Marine Barracks
at the U. S. Naval Air Station, San Juan
Puerto Rico, has just been promoted to
the rank of lieutenant colonel.

A native of Kensington, Maryland, Col
onel Chappell was commissioned a second
lieutenant in 1922 and entered the U. S.
Marine Corps right after being graduated.

officer in the Cadet Corps in his upperclass
years. He rose to first lieutenant while on
duty at Guantanamo, Cuba, in 1930 and
attained his captaincy in 193 3 at Ouantico.
It was while an instructor at the Marine
Basic School in Philadelphia that he was
made a major in 1939. He came to Puerto
Rico as commanding officer of Marine Bar-
racks about a year ago.

Colonel Chappell's sea duty includes
service aboard the U. S. S. Rochester, Mil
waukee, Arkansas. New Mexico, and

COVER PICTURE

The tang of fall is in the air and the
crash of football players soon will be
heard on college playing fields in every
section of the nation. As American as
hot dogs and mustard, football is as much
a part of the autumn season as cornshocks
and pumpkins or the brilliantly lined fo-
liage of the countryside.

University of Maryland Alumni, stu-
dents and faculty are eagerly looking for-
ward to the current football season and
have great hopes that the Shaughnessy
trained team is going to make football his-
tory at College Park. All who have watched
the squad working under Mr. Shaughnessy
have been thrilled at the fine spirit shown
by each member and the snap and pre-
cision of the entire group.

Just to get you in the right spirit we
show a fine "action" shot on the cover
of this issue of the News. This picture
was taken during an exciting moment in
the Washington and Lee game last Fall
which Maryland won, 6 to 0.

L O. T. C. cadet who graduates from the University foi 1 1 ic-
{oration will be ;is fully equipped to meet the rigors ol modem

vnr as it is humanly possible to make him.

Only through the medium of actual experience do men be
:onic thoroughly versed in the art of modern warfare is Colonel
Rfysor's opinion. And. since l l H0. when lie became head of the
lepartment, one of his chief aims lias been to give his cadets
i practical training program that will prepare them for the de-
hands of war-time duty. Evidence thai tins belief has borne fruit
s brought out by the fact that the colonel has a desk drawer of
etters from recent R. O. T. C. graduates all saying, in one way
>r another, this statement: "We are <;ettmg along fine m the
amy because we seem fo have had more practical training than
jave most college men."

More Instruction

Since September, 1941, although War Department regulations
cquire only IS 3 hours of work per two-semester year for ad-
vanced R. O. T. C. students. University of Maryland cadets have
)een receiving 330 hours of work, more than double the mini-
Bum requirement. During this past summer, advanced students
lave participated in a very active out-door program which, Col-
Miel Wysor declares, will make them "the best trained men,
physically and professional}-, that have ever received commissions
inder me."

Immediatey, in his first semester, every cadet is taught how to
ranclle a fortv-five automatic, the Browning automatic rifle, a ma-
chine gun and trench mortars. Thus, if the student is unable to
complete either a basic or advanced course, he is already familiar
vith the most important army weapons.

Obstacle Course

One of the features of the University's military program lias
been an obstacle course patterned after similai set ups at n
arm) camps. Onlj the toughest features of the various courses
inspected were incorporated in the College Park course and more
than one student has had his physical mettle put to a severe test
in running the course in the prescribed tunc. The climax of the
obstacle course is a 1 ~ foot broad jump over a six foot deep
stream. An alternative to making the 1" foot leap is to jump and
swing across the stream on a rope.

\ combat range has been cut out of a hillside near the campus
and the cadets practice there with the new Garand rifles and
machine guns. A bayonet course is also in use. familiarizing stu-
dents with the use of that instrument.

Recently, Senior R. O. T. C. members made a 26 mile hike into
Montgomery Count} on an ovei night trip. As a dawn attack was
planned, cadets rolled up for sleep at a fairly early hour but before
any had gone to sleep, the camp was fired on and for the rest of
the night the entire company was kept on an alert basis At
2 a. in. sleepy-eyed cadets made preparations for the dawn attack
on a point three miles away. Following breakfast, many problems
were earned out and during the entire trip, members of the ncvvlv
organized R. O. T. C. Signal Corps unit maintained constant
communication with headquarters at College Park by radio.

which are used in the military program to prepare the students

for modern-day war. The lower picture shows just one of

the "obstacles" in the obstacle course.

R.O.T.C. Unit At University

(Continued from page 3)

Have Signal Corps

Lieutenants James R. Pinkerton and
James V. Barker arc in charge of the fully-
equipped Signal Corps unit which now in-
cludes about 25 men. The Signal Corps
men are taught the Morse Code, how to
set up telephone and radio communica-
tions in the field, and lay lines during the
day or night.

In addition to the military classes, three
hours per week are spent in mass calis-
thenics. Cadets get about 20 hours of
boxing, in addition to tumbling, track,
basket ball, soccer and football, and gym
workouts. In October, each company will
organize contact football teams which will
play regular schedules.

The physical side of the military pro-
gram has been so successful that Head
Coach Clark Shaughnessy was able to
eliminate some of the preliminary football
training this fall.

Another practical side to the University
program has been the utilization of cadets
as 24-hour guards for important buildings
on the campus. Senior R. O. T. C. offi-
cers act as officers of the day and officers
of the guard while the Juniors act as cor-
porals. By the end of the current semester,
every R. O. T. C. cadet will have served
some time on guard duty.

The 500 members of the R. O. T. C.
battalion got a real taste of "Judo" tactics
this month when the famed Major Fran-
cois D'Eliscu, now directing the Combat
and Ranger School for the 76th Division
at Fort Meade, visited the campus for a
day. Most of the students admit they
couldn't begin to keep up the pace which
the 47-year-old "Commando" instructor
set as be taught individual classes through-
out the day. Running, riding piggy-back,
crawling on their stomachs, wrestling, and
blocking were on the list of personal com-
bat tactics demonstrated by Major D'El-
iscu. He also gave exhibitions in disarm-
ing men holding bayonets and revolvers.

A VISITOR— Lieutenant J. David
Leonard. '42, who recently finished his
officers' training at Fort Knox, Kentucky,
spent several days visiting his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Fred J. Leonard of Bctbcsda
before going to Fort Benning. Georgia, to
report for duty. Before joining the armed
forces he was associated with the Home
Loan Corporation in Washington. He is
now on maneuvers "somewhere in the
South." His many friends in Bethcsda and
Chevj Chase will be pleased to know of
his recent promotion in rank.

Governor O'Conor Assists
In Victory Bull Campaign

Governor Herbert R. O'Conor, of Mary-
land, was a recent visitor to the University
of Mankind campus, at which time he
presented a pure bred Jersey bull to each
of 16 Maryland farmers. The animals
were donated bv Jersey breeders of the
State as their part in a nation-wide Vic-
tory Bull Campaign sponsored by the
American Jersey Cattle Club. F. Henry
Jones, owner of Ayrlawn Farms, Bethesda,
Md., is president of the Maryland Jersey
Cattle Club and was in charge of arrange-
ments.

In making the presentation Governor
O'Conor stated that 2" other Governors
had taken part in similar events in their
respective States. He said that "Dairymen
and farmers are going to have an increas-
inglv important part in deciding the strug-
gle in which we are engaged, as food, es-
pecially fats, will become a vital factor."
Declaring that nothing matters now so
much as victory, he urged all to pull to-
gether as Marylanders to play our full
part.

Dr. Kenneth L. Turk, head of the Uni-
versity of Maryland Dairy Department,
also addressed the group, which numbered
approximately 100.

Harry Boswell Stationed
At Army Field In Texas

Lieutenant Harry A. Boswell, Jr., son
of Mr. and Mrs. Harry A. Boswell, of
Hyattsville, Md., is now on duty in the ad-
ministrative branch of the U. S. Army Air
Corps at Duncan Field, San Antonio,
Texas. He received his commission upon
graduation from the University last May
and began his army career at Fort Myer,
Va., on June 16. After serving there for a
week he was assigned to Duncan Field.

Lieutenant Boswell made an outstand-
ing record as a student at the University.
Scholastically he stood in second place in
the College of Commerce in his senior
year. He served as vice-president, treasurer,
and director of the University's Collegiate
Chamber of Commerce. He also served
as a lieutenant in the R. O. T. C. and was
president of Phi Eta Sigma, freshman
honor society.

A member of Omicron Delta Kappa,
men's honorary fraternity, Boswell was one
of those who presented Lord Halifax, Brit-
ish Ambassador to this country, when
that diplomat was tapped at the University
last spring. Boswell is a member of Pi
Delta Epsilon, Beta Gamma Sigma, and
Sigma Chi.

Two more of the obstacles which
cadets must encounter in their
training to he a modern-day sol-
dier. The obstacle race at the Uni-
versity is patterned along the lines
of- those in use at U. S. Army
camps, and is said to be one of
the toughest in the country.

Old Line Athletic Contributions

By W. H. ("Bill") HOTTEL

Old Coaches Stay On Job;
Manders, Halas Added

Clark Shaughncssy lins expanded Mary
land's coaching staff without molesting
those on the job when he came to College
Park. Al Hcagy and Al Woods will con-
tinue as aides. Jack Faber also would have
helped had he not gone into the service
(as told elsewhere), but Jack Manders
and \\ 'alter Halas are two notable addi-
tions.

Manders, Minnesota fullback celebrity
and for nine years a member of the fa-
mous pro Chicago Bears, is better known,
but Halas is older and more experienced.
Both are fitting effectively and agreeably
into the Maryland picture.

Manders went with the Chicago Bears
just after graduating in 1933, starring as
a back for eight years, during which time
he set many scoring records, and last fall
served as assistant coach.

Native Of South Dakota

He was born in Milbank, South Dakota,
on January 13, 1909, and went to Minne-
sota after playing four years of prep foot-
ball. He was outstanding for the Gopher
varsity for three seasons while earning his
degree in physical education. He is a
strapping fellow, standing slightly over
6 feet and scaling a few pounds over 200.
Manders is married and has two children.

His skill in kicking field goals and points
after touchdowns earned him the nick-
name of "Automatic Jack," his boots
adding greatly to his fame and giving him
a number of league records, although he
also was highly effective as a ball toter
and defensive back.

His lifetime record for the pros include
368 points. 40 field goals, 134 points after
touchdowns, 72 consecutive points after

JACK FABER

touchdowns, 31 points after touchdowns
in one season, tied for top honors with
five points after touchdowns in one game,
10 field goals in one campaign and 79
points in one vear.

Halas An Illinois Product

Halas, who was graduated from Illinois
in 1916, for the past 15 years has been
grid mentor at Drexel Institute in Phila-
delphia. He's only a little fellow but was
a three-letter athlete while at Illinois.

He helped Knute Rockne at Notre
Dame and was at Mount St. Mary's of
Maryland for a brief time before going to
Drexel.

Halas will handle the freshman squad
where it is vitally important to have an
experienced mentor. He knows all about
the T.

Shipley Is Veteran Tutor

Burton Shipley, of course, remains as
head coach of basket ball and baseball, in
which capacities he has served since the
1923-24 term.

Shipley also will coach the Commandos,
the lightweight football squad that will
play at least two games. They were not
to report until September 21.

Faber's Loss Is Keenly
Felt In Two Ways

Dr. Jack Faber, who has gone into the
U. S. Sanitary Corps as a captain, will be
greatly missed at Maryland in an athletic
way and as a bacteriology professor. He
was to handle the business end of athletics
and continue as head mentor of lacrosse,
and both of these jobs will be hard to fill.

Al Hcagy, Faber's lacrosse aid for years,
is a highly capable stick mentor, but his
duties on the football coaching staff would
make it difficult for him to do both in the
Spring.

Highly Rated Scientist

Despite his prominence in athletics, Fa-
ber's main position was assistant profes-
sor of bacteriology and he is highly rated
in that field.

Faber made his start at Maryland in
basket ball in the 1923-24 seasons and
starred on this sport for three years. He still
is rated as all-time Maryland basketer. He
also was a topnotch lacrosse player and
played fooball as a reserve.

Faber got his first coaching experience
in 1927 when he was captain of the la-
crosse team. He took over the task as well
as continuing to play when Prof. R. V.
Truitt, the head coach, was taken ill. He
assumed the head coaching job of the
stickmen the next spring and doubtless
has the best record of any lacrosse mentor
in the country. Since the national title has
been in the past seven years recognized by
the awarding of the Wingate Trophy,
Faber's teams have won three times, tied
once and was runner-up another year.

Always Active In Sports
Ever since graduating, Faber has done
some kind of other coaching, with football
or helping in basket ball. He headed the
varsity grid staff in 1933, 1934 and 1935
and again in 1940 1941 and was first as-
sistant in intervening years.

Faber got all his three degrees from
Mankind, his B.S. in 1926, his M.S. in
1927 and his Ph.D. in 1937.

Marked Progress Shown
By Large Grid Squad

Maryland's football squad, led l>v the
feeen minded and hard working (Mark
Bhaughnessy, rapidly is advancing T-ward
to the opening game of the season with the
University of Connecticut ;it College Park
on September 26.

Duke, V. M. I. and the Georgia Naval
Pre-Flight School are the toughest nuts
on the schedule and the List named ap-
pears above any college outfit with an
array of professional and collegiate stars.

Must Overcome Handicaps

Despite practice sessions being cut to one
a day by school being in session, with a
couple of exceptions of Saturdays and
Labor Day, the Old Liners are making
marked progress with an attack that should
bring thrills if not always victory.

Shaughnessy gets his boys on Tuesday
and Thursday, too, in pretty tired condi-
tion from two hours of strenuous mili-
tary work.

Five teams and some extras are drilling
but practically all the first squad talent is
embraced in two elevens, the Reds and
Whites.

First Two Outfits

They have been lining up as follows:

REDS — Bob James and Jack Gilmore,
ends; Jack Dittmar and Reggie Vincent,
tackles; Eddie Chovanes and Luther Con-
rad, guards; Paul Flick, center; Tom
Mont, quarterback; Elmer Rigby and Jack
Micr. halfbacks; Jack Wright, fullback.

This is a complete letterman outfit, with
the exception of Flick, who is a 6-foot 3,
200-pound soph.

WHITES — Jack Hufman and Marsh-
all Brandt, ends; Oscar DuBois and How-
iard Smedley, tackles; Herb Gunther and
Bill Byrd, guards; George Jarmoska, cen-
jter; Jack Brenner, quarterback; George
Barnes and Ilubey Werner, halfbacks; Bill
Helbock, fullback.

OCTOBER, 1942

PRINCESS

MARY WHITE

OHE'S just seven years old, she lives at 514 Plum
Street, her father is plain Bill White. Most people
notice her pigtails and her blue eyes, but they never
guess they're in the presence of royalty.

But we know!

Maybe that's because we know more about her
kingdom — the kingdom she'll be queen of one day
than these people. It's no ordinary kingdom, this it
combines the best features of all the fairy stories you
ever read rolled into one. Instead of an ordinary
marble palace, she'll have a real home made of in-
expensive materials that you haven't even heard of vet,
flooded with sunlight, and opening on the whole out-
doors.

Instead of a pumpkin coach, she'll drive a car such
as you have never dreamed of, and' fly a plane as readily
as you would drive a car. Plastic shoes will be her
glass slippers. And her servants will all be electric, for
electricity, in modern electric appliances for cooking,
heating, cooling, and cleaning, is just about the best
servant man has ever had.

Where is this fairyland? It's right here in America,
tomorrow!

But how can we be sure that this is not just another
fairy tale? Because American industry has already made
enough discoveries and developments to reveal to
us the shape of things to come. New materials like
plastics, new developments like television, new
sciences like electronics, assure us of this — and promise
even more.

Today's job is fighting for that better world. But
when tomorrow comes, American industry, once again
busy producing things to make living better, will help
to make tomorrow's young men and women more
truly princes and princesses than the heroes of
yesterday's fairy tales. General Electric Cvnipaiiy,
Sclieuectady, N. Y.

The volume of General Electric war production is so high and
the degree of secrecy required is so great that we cannot tell you
about it now. When it can be told we believe that the story of
industry's developments during the war years will make one of the
most fascinating chapters in the history of industrial progress.
